Now community members have 25% more time at regular Board meetings to address trustees.

As of Sept. 1, delegations will be heard at two board meetings per month. With prior notice given the Tuesday of the previous week, two delegations will each have 10 min. to present for a total of twenty minutes at every Board meeting. If that time is not taken by delegations with prior notice, delegations without prior notice may speak for 5 min. to an agenda topic. If the topic is not on the agenda, the delegation will be referred to the following meeting in order to give notice.

This means that every month 40 minutes (rather than the former 30 minutes) will be allotted to hearing delegations.

In addition, since a delegation may address the trustees once on the same topic in every three-month period, a greater number of delegations will have opportunities to speak.

We are always pleased to hear from community members.
